Positive Selection and Horizontal Gene Transfer in the Genome of a Male-Killing Wolbachia
Wolbachia are a genus of widespread bacterial endosymbionts in which some strains can hijack or manipulate arthropod host reproduction. Male killing is one such manipulation in which these maternally transmitted bacteria benefit surviving daughters in part by removing competition with the sons for s...
